Senate Democrats want TV networks to promote climate-change hysteria
and follow the lead of Britain's state broadcasting company, which sent
its top executives to a green propaganda training seminar.

The mainstream media, long a house organ for Democrats, are about to
come under pressure by Senate Democrats led by Sens. Bernie Sanders,
I-Vt., and Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, who are gathering signatures from
colleagues on a letter to the networks telling them they're ignoring
global warming, according to a report in the National Journal.

They are seeking to impose sort of a climate change "fairness
doctrine" designed to ignore inconvenient truths about climate
researchers getting stuck in Antarctic ice that was supposed to have
melted in favor of the gospel according to Al Gore.

"It is beyond my comprehension that you have ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox,
that their Sunday shows have discussed climate change in 2012,
collectively, for all of eight minutes," Sanders said, citing analysis
by the leftist George Soros-linked Media Matters for America, which
promotes media bias while claiming to fight it.
"Sunday news shows are obviously important because they talk to
millions of people, but they go beyond that by helping to define what
the establishment considers to be important and what is often discussed
during the rest of the week," he said...

What Sanders wants is for the major networks to become a forum for
uncontested green propaganda as the British Broadcasting Corp. has
become on the other side of the pond.
